5T: Volunteers Still Searching for Snappy

Here are five things you need to know today in Woburn:

1) Biddy Bball registration

Tonight is registration for the Biddy Basketball program at the Boys and Girls Club of Woburn. Starting at 6 p.m., children can sign up for the instructional league. There is a one-time fee for the program, in addition to club dues. Only students in grades 2 through 4 are eligible for the Biddy Bball program. 

2) Snappy is still missing

Snappy the Weimaraner is still missing. Searchers have tracked her scent in Winchester, but the pup is still out there and likely cold and hungry after nearly two months out in the wildnerness. Two teams of bloodhounds have searched the woods for Snappy, as have humans who have plastered the Woburn area with posters. The owners have also employed a dog pawprint tracker and a canine pyschic, but have not been able to track the pooch. If you see Snappy, call this number: 617-256-8772.

3) Some sweet weather

According to the National Weather Service's specialized forecast just for Woburn, our sweet weather is going to continue on for another day. Enjoy the sunshine and temperatures in the mid-60s while they last!
